In our analysis of ready apartment sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department for the week of 2 November 2026, we identified 10 noteworthy transactions that closed below TruValue. The standout sale was a studio in Madinat Hind 4, which sold for AED 350,000, approximately 21% lower than our TruValue estimate of AED 441,000.
On average, these 10 properties were sold at a discount of about 11% compared to their respective TruValue estimates. We have ranked these sales based on how significantly they fell below TruValue, ensuring a balanced representation across various communities. Each TruValue estimate is derived from our standard methodology, which evaluates recent, comparable transactions within the same community, factoring in bedroom count and size.
It's important to note that a sale below TruValue should be viewed as an initial indicator rather than a definitive conclusion. Various factors can contribute to this discount, such as a tenanted unit that cannot be sold vacant, a less desirable floor level or view, an older finish, or simply a seller's urgency for a quick sale. This is precisely why understanding TruValue is crucial before making any commitments; it helps determine whether the price presented is a genuine opportunity or merely a fair valuation for a home that may have its drawbacks.

Ready (secondary) apartment sales registered with the Dubai Land Department during the week, compared with TruValue (MOVA's valuation) for a comparable home (same community, bedroom count and size) around the sale date. Only high-confidence TruValue estimates are shown; unit numbers are withheld. TruValue is a data-driven figure for mortgage and purchase workflow — not a physical inspection or a formal RICS report. A price below TruValue can reflect a tenanted unit, a lower floor or view, older condition or a motivated seller as easily as a genuine bargain.
What this means for your mortgage
We believe that successful buyers in Dubai are those who grasp a property's fair value prior to entering negotiations. The figures we present are TruValue estimates intended for purchase and mortgage workflows, not substitutes for physical inspections or formal RICS reports. They provide a clear representation of an evidence-based valuation. Before you make an offer, we can arrange a TruValue valuation (AED 599; AED 299 with partner coupon) for the specific home you are considering, followed by a free mortgage pre-approval.
